Let's hope I can do this with minimal frustration lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755338 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:35:09 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1755338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: The hot air balloons look super impressive but they'd probably be beyond my skill set. I know when I was looking at making a mobile with hot air balloons, I stumbled across this design and liked it a lot especially since I knew it would be within my abilities. So if you get frustrated, don't give up! Maybe just tweak the design :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.craftinessisnotoptional.com/2012/07/up-up-and-away-mobile-tutorial-and.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.craftinessisnotoptional.com/2012/07/up-up-and-away-mobile-tutorial-and.html</a></p> <p>And if you need a new design for the elephants, let me know. I could probably sketch something up for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755335 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:30:11 +0000 mrskc 1755335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: the nursery is navy, coral and gold. I used a premier prints fabric with dandelions on it. I can sew simple things so these projects were easy enough for me. I love that top you made. Maybe I'll attempt to make some clothes for my baby girl. Clothes intimidate me for some reason. </p> [attach=684/14/n8nvad.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=684/14/n8nvag.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755331 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:20:02 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1755331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: Yes it is felt! So that made it a little less intimidating looking (to me). I figured if I didn't have to finish edges that's one step easier haha. I am pulling the hot air balloon from this tutorial <a href="http://www.howjoyful.com/2012/07/nursery-felt-hot-air-ballon-mobile-tutorial-and-pattern/" rel="nofollow">http://www.howjoyful.com/2012/07/nursery-felt-hot-air-ballon-mobile-tutorial-and-pattern/</a> though I haven't decided which balloon style to go with. I ultimately want the mobile to look similar to the picture below but with the elephants being a little different? Haven't decided. I would love to buy from Etsy but the price tag just doesn't fit right now :( </p> [attach=4435/14/n8nutf.570x570.Elephant-mobile.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755330 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:16:27 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1755330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: Are you making it with felt? I adore working in felt! :) If there's anything I can do to help let me know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755326 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:13:03 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1755326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to attempt to make a hot air balloon/cloud/elephant mobile for our little one due in October. I'm not a seamstress at all so this will be a challenge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755172 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 09:59:50 +0000 GreenThumb 1755172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: :wink: </p> <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: Absolutely!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1755170 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 09:58:59 +0000 GreenThumb 1755170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Thanks! And your headband making supplies make me jealous!! DD won't keep a headband on, but she finally has enough hair to wear clips, so I've made a few felt bows and flowers for her. Sounds like you have great projects for the nursery!! What colors/fabric are you using? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754958 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 23:02:30 +0000 mrskc 1754958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: yes it has been behaving!

That is adorable! </p> <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: @scg00387: I haven't really made too many yet. This is all I have made so far. I'm currently more of a hoarder of supplies! Lol! Couldn't resist the cheap elastic I found from elastic by the yard. And I have a bunch if jersey knit material to make some too. </p> [attach=684/14/n8mtty.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=684/14/n8mtu0.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754928 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 22:05:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1754928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: omg that is sooo adorable!!!

It really took no time at all, but I've got the sewing bug! And, I totally have that Birch Fabrics pattern saved, too! So cute! Can't wait to try it. We are packing, too, with everything going into storage while we find a place to live, so I had to pick some things to keep out so I can stay busy. I have some little felt finger puppets I'm making for my nephew and a baby sweater and ballet shoes for my niece.<br /> @photojane: :heart: You can do it!<br /> @Mrs. Grizzly Bear: Like @Radish: said, ruffles are actually pretty easy, they just look hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754901 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:39:11 +0000 immabeetoo 1754901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I peeked at the tutorial; I don't think it's too tricky if you dive it and try it! What do you think of this one? It's a little simpler, but a simple aesthetic. I've seen lots of them sewn up that are adorable: <a href="http://birchfabrics.blogspot.com/2013/08/free-pattern-tutorial-featuring-eiko-by.html" rel="nofollow">http://birchfabrics.blogspot.com/2013/08/free-pattern-tutorial-featuring-eiko-by.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754893 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:35:36 +0000 Radish 1754893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: ruffles are so easy... you should give it a go. </p> <p>I am just finishing up a quilt for a baby due next month. All that is left is the binding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754878 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:27:50 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1754878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: @photojane: Agreed.I love this but I'd be worried about the ruffles. I'm not confident enough for ruffles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754877 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:27:39 +0000 immabeetoo 1754877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I don't think I've seen that designer!

Haven't started it, though </p> [attach=618/14/n8mnx2.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-working-on#post-1754828 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:39:02 +0000 MediaNaranja 1754828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the cute little quilting store near my parents' house to get fabric for a quilt for my cousin's baby boy, who is due any day now. It's a really simple pattern so it shouldn't take too long to finish once I get started. The biggest challenge is the fact that my "sewing room" is in a converted walk-in closet with no a/c, and it gets hot in there!! </p>
